1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
6 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
7 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
8 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
10 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
11 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
15 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
16 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
18 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
19 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
23 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
24 is applied to a class (t0m).
26 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
27 twice in the same sentance (Florian Ragwitz).
29 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
33 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
34 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
36 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
40 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
41 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
43 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
46 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
47 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
48 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
50 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
51 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
52 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
55 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
57 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
61 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
62 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
66 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
68 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
72 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
73 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
77 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
78 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
82 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
88 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
89 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
93 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
94 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
98 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
99 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
101 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
105 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
106 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
107 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
110 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
114 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
115 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
116 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
117 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
119 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
123 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
124 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
125 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
129 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
132 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
136 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
137 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
138 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
142 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
143 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
145 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
146 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
147 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
148 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
150 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
154 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
158 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
159 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
161 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
162 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
163 - Moose::Util::does_role
164 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
165 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
166 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
168 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
172 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
173 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
174 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
177 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
181 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
182 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
185 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
189 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
190 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
193 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
197 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
199 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
200 class. (Dave Rolsky).
202 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
203 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
204 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
206 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
207 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
208 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
211 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
212 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. Dave Rolsky>
214 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
215 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
216 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
218 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
220 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
221 substr et al, again. (sorear)
223 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
225 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
228 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
229 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
231 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
232 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
234 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
235 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
236 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
237 dependencies installed.
239 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
240 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
243 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
245 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
249 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
251 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
252 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
253 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
255 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
256 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
257 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
259 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
260 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
263 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
264 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
265 others. (nothingmuch)
267 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
268 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
269 remove_accessors. (doy)
271 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
272 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
273 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
275 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
276 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
278 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
279 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
280 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
281 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
284 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
285 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
287 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
288 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
290 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
292 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
293 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
296 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
297 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
298 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
299 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
300 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
302 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
303 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
304 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
305 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
306 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
307 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
308 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
311 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
312 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
313 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
314 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
315 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
317 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
318 which were not receiving the value of
319 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
320 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
321 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
322 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
326 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
327 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
328 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
329 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
330 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
333 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
334 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
335 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
336 - added tests for this (Stevan)
339 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
340 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
341 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
344 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
345 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
346 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
348 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
349 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
350 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
353 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
354 class if you pass it options for
355 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
356 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
357 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
358 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
359 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
360 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
361 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
362 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
363 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
365 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
366 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
367 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
368 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
369 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
372 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
373 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
374 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
375 existing delegation API. (hdp)
377 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
378 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
379 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
380 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
381 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
382 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
385 * Moose::Error::Croak
386 * Moose::Error::Confess
387 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
388 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
391 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
394 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
395 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
396 installing a broken sub. (doy)
399 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
402 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
403 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
404 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
406 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
407 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
408 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
409 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
410 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
412 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
413 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
416 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
418 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
419 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
422 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
423 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
425 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
426 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
427 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
428 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
430 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
431 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
432 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
433 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
434 using it for new code!
436 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
437 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
438 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
439 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
441 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
442 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
443 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
444 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
445 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
446 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
447 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
448 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
451 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
454 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
455 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
458 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
459 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
461 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
462 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
463 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
466 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
467 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
468 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
471 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
472 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
474 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
475 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
476 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
479 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
480 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
481 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
482 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
483 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
484 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
486 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
488 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
491 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
492 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
493 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
495 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
496 associated_methods. (hdp)
497 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
498 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
499 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
500 misspelled) arguments
502 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
503 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
504 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
505 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
507 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
508 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
509 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
511 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
514 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
515 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
516 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
519 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
520 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
522 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
524 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
525 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
527 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
528 * Moose::Manual::Types
529 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
530 string parsing rathole (mst)
532 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
533 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
534 using plain objects instead
536 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
537 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
540 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
542 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
543 three times today (perigrin)
544 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
545 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
547 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
548 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
549 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
550 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
553 - A role's required methods are now represented by
554 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
555 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
556 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
557 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
558 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
561 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
562 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
563 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
564 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
567 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
569 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
572 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
574 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
577 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
578 during global destruction. This method has been made more
579 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
583 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
584 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
587 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
588 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
590 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
591 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
592 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
595 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
597 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
598 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
601 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
605 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
606 methods during global destruction (doy)
609 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
610 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
614 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
615 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
618 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
619 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
622 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
623 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
625 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
627 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
631 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
632 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
633 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
636 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
637 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
638 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
641 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
643 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
644 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
645 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
648 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
649 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
650 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
651 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
653 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
654 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
655 of the Moose core (Sartak)
658 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
661 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
662 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
663 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
667 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
668 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
671 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
673 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
676 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
677 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
680 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
681 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
684 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
685 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
688 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
691 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
693 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
694 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
698 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
700 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
701 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
704 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
705 * More deprecations and renamings
706 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
707 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
708 when an object is constructed)
711 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
712 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
713 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
715 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
716 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
717 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
718 feature, and it works again.
721 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
723 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
725 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
726 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
727 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
729 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
730 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
731 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
732 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
733 message. Test provided by perigrin.
735 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
736 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
737 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
738 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
739 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
742 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
743 metaclass object. (hdp)
745 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
746 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
747 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
748 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
749 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
750 point out this fact. (hdp)
752 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
753 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
755 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
756 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
759 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
760 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
761 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
762 called during instance construction were passed the
763 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
764 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
766 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
767 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
770 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
771 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
772 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
775 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
776 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
777 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
778 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
779 them, but they are not for "public" use.
782 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
784 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
785 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
786 when an object is constructed)
787 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
789 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
790 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
791 when an object is constructed)
792 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
793 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
794 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
797 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
799 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
800 * No changes from 0.72_01.
802 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
804 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
805 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
806 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
808 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
809 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
810 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
812 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
814 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
815 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
817 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
818 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
821 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
822 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
825 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
826 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
827 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
829 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
830 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
834 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
835 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
836 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
838 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
839 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
842 * Moose::Manual::Delta
843 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
844 with recommended workarounds.
846 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
847 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
849 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
850 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
851 (yes, spelled like that).
853 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
854 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
857 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
858 changes in latest Class::MOP.
860 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
862 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
863 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
864 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
865 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
866 instead. Reported by doy.
868 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
870 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
871 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
873 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
874 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
875 message) is now deprecated.
876 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
877 often got it wrong. For example:
879 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
881 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
885 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
886 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
887 bite you in weird cases.
889 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
890 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
891 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
894 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
895 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
899 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
902 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
903 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
906 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
907 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
909 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
910 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
913 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
914 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
915 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
916 - added tests for this (stevan)
918 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
919 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
920 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
921 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
925 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
926 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
927 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
928 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
930 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
931 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
932 - added tests for this (rafl)
934 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
935 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
936 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
937 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
941 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
942 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
945 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
946 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
947 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
949 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
951 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
952 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
955 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
956 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
957 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
958 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
960 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
961 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
962 error message did not specify the attribute name
965 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
967 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
969 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
970 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
971 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
973 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
974 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
977 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
979 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
980 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
981 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
982 of fixes and formatting improvements.
984 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
986 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
987 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
988 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
989 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
991 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
992 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
993 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
995 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
996 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
997 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
998 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
999 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1001 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1002 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1003 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1004 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1005 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1007 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1008 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1009 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1010 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1011 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1012 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1014 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
1015 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1016 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1017 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1018 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1019 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1021 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1022 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1024 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1025 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1026 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1027 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1029 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1030 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1033 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1037 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1038 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1040 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1041 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1042 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1043 guts. (nothingmuch).
1045 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1046 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1047 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1049 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1050 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1051 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1052 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1054 * Moose::Meta::Class
1055 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1058 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1059 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1061 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1062 * Moose::Unsweetened
1063 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1066 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1067 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1068 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1069 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1070 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1071 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1073 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1074 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1075 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1076 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1077 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1078 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1079 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1080 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1081 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1082 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1084 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1086 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1087 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1089 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1090 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1091 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1092 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1094 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1095 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1096 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1097 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1098 same methods for a single role did not work
1099 right (worked just fine with multiple
1101 - added test for this (stevan)
1103 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1104 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1105 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1108 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1109 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1110 - added test for this (t0m)
1113 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1114 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1115 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1117 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1118 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1119 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1120 - added test for this (t0m)
1122 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1123 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1124 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1125 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1126 - added test for this (perigrin)
1129 - create method for constructing a role
1130 dynamically (Sartak)
1131 - added test for this (Sartak)
1132 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1133 - added test for this (Sartak)
1136 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1138 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1139 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1140 methods is useful (Sartak)
1142 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1143 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1144 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1147 * Moose::Meta::Class
1148 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1149 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1150 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1151 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1152 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1153 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1156 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1157 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1159 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1160 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1161 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1162 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1163 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1165 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1167 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1168 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1169 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1172 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1173 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1174 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1175 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1176 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1177 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1180 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1181 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1182 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1183 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1184 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1185 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1186 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1187 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1188 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1189 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1190 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1192 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1193 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1196 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1197 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1198 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1199 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1200 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1202 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1204 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1205 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1206 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1208 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1209 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1211 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1212 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1213 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1214 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1217 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1218 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1220 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1222 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1223 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1225 * Moose::Meta::Class
1226 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1227 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1228 a required attribute
1230 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1231 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1232 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1233 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1235 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1236 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1238 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1239 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1240 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1241 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1242 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1243 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1244 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1245 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1247 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1248 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1249 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1251 * Roles and role application
1252 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1253 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1254 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1255 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1256 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1258 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1259 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1262 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1263 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1264 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1265 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1266 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1269 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1270 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1271 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1272 changes in the Moose internals.
1274 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1275 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1276 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1279 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1280 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1281 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1282 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1284 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1285 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1286 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1287 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1289 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1290 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1291 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1292 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1293 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1294 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1295 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1296 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1297 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1298 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1299 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1300 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1301 constraint implementations.
1303 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1307 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1308 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1309 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1310 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1311 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1312 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1313 - added tests for this (rafl)
1315 * Moose::Meta::Class
1316 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1317 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1318 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1319 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1320 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1321 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1322 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1323 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1326 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1327 - added tests for this (thepler)
1329 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1330 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1331 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1332 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1335 * Moose::Meta::Class
1336 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1337 * Moose::Meta::Method
1340 * Moose::Error::Default
1341 * Moose::Error::Croak
1342 * Moose::Error::Confess
1343 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1344 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1345 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1346 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1347 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1348 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1350 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1352 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1353 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1355 * Moose::Unsweetened
1356 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1357 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1358 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1360 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1361 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1362 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1363 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1364 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1367 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1368 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1370 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1371 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1372 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1373 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the

1379 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1381 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1384 - Various bug fixes.

1419 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1420 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1421 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1422 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1423 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1424 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1426 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1427 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is

1453 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1455 - added test for this (t0m)
1458 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1459 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1460 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1463 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1464 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1466 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'

1469 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1471 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1

1547 ... this is not my day today ...
1549 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1550 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1551 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1552 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1553 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1556 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1557 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1558 actually releasing the module. No actual changes

1563 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1565 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1566 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)

1598 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1599 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1600 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1601 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1602 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1603 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1604 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1605 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1606 - added tests for this
1608 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1609 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1610 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very

1716 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
1718 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
1719 XS based functionality is now optional
1720 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1721 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1722 can now be used to force non-XS versions

1825 drink more coffee before
1826 doing release engineering
1828 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,

2081 - added test for this (also Dave Rolsky)
2083 * Moose::Meta::Class
2084 - improved error message on _apply_all_roles,
2085 you should now use Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
2086 and you shouldnt have been using a _ prefixed
2087 method in the first place ;)
2089 0.34 Mon. Jan. 21, 2008
2090 ~~~ more misc. doc. fixes ~~~

2098 cleanup of the role system
2099 - 100% backwards compat.
2100 - Role application now restructured into seperate
2101 classes based on type of applicants
2102 - Role summation (combining of more than one role)
2103 is much cleaner and anon-classes are no longer

2105 - new Composite role metaclass
2106 - runtime application of roles to instances
2107 is now more efficient and re-uses generated
2108 classes when applicable

2141 - added this module to support the refactor
2142 in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized
2144 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized

2146 are more generic and not confined to ArrayRef
2150 - shortened some file names for better VMS support (RT #32381)
2152 0.33 Fri. Dec. 14, 2007
2153 !! Moose now loads 2 x faster !!
2154 !! with new Class::MOP 0.49 !!
2156 ++ new oose.pm module to make command line

2192 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2193 - there is now a default constraint of sub { 1 }
2194 instead of Moose::Util::TypeConstraints setting
2197 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2198 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2199 - added the &has_coercion_for_type and
2200 &add_type_coercions methods to support the

2204 0.31 Mon. Nov. 26, 2007
2205 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2206 - made the +attr syntax handle extending types with

2214 - added docs for this
2216 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2217 - passing no "additional attribute info" to

2235 with work correctly.
2236 - added tests for this
2239 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2240 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code
2243 - New tests for builder bug. Upon instantiation, if an

2279 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
2282 - fixed how required methods are handled
2283 when they encounter overriden or modified
2284 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2285 - added tests for this
2287 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2288 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2289 the | always creates a union and so is
2290 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2291 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2293 - added more tests for this
2295 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2298 * Parameterized Types
2299 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2300 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2301 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2302 They can also be nested:
2303 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2304 And work with the type unions as well:
2305 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2307 * Better Framework Extendability
2308 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2309 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2310 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2311 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2314 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2315 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2316 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2317 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2320 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2322 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
2323 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)
2326 - added all the meta classes to the immutable list and

2382 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
2383 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2385 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2386 - this has been added to service the newly refactored
2387 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union and is itself

2455 (but not changing the handles option)
2456 - added tests and docs for this
2459 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
2460 so that required methods can come from superclasses

2464 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2465 - fix inlined constructor for hierarchy with multiple BUILD methods (mst)

2471 the other side (perigrin)
2473 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
2474 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2475 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2476 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
2477 prototypes for functions
2478 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
2479 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

2489 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
2492 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
2493 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
2494 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
2495 - added tests for this
2497 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
2499 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

2521 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
2523 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
2524 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
2525 so this release is just to fix that.
2528 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
2529 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
2530 (thanks to konobi for this)

2541 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
2542 functions to facilitate introspection.
2544 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2545 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
2546 to build the list of delegated methods
2547 correctly (and not override important
2548 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
2550 - added tests and docs for this
2551 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2552 so that you can actually document your
2553 attributes and inspect them through the
2555 - added tests and docs for this
2557 * Moose::Meta::Class
2558 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2559 it will first look in for the class in the
2560 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2561 then default to just loading $name.
2562 - added tests and docs for this
2564 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2565 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2566 - added test for this
2569 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2570 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2571 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2572 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2574 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2575 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2578 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2580 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2581 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2582 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2585 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2586 !! for this developer release to work !!
2588 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2589 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2590 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2591 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2592 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2593 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2594 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2595 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2596 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2597 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2598 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2600 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2601 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2602 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2603 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2606 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2607 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2608 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2609 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2610 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2612 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2614 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2615 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2618 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2619 called unless they actually need to be.
2620 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2621 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2622 DEMOLISH method present.
2624 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2625 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2626 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2627 type constraint, which allows for a
2628 hand optimized version of the type
2629 constraint to be used when possible.
2630 - Any internally created type constraints
2631 now provide an optimized version as well.
2633 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2635 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2636 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2637 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2639 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2640 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2641 your class namespace of these exported
2644 * Moose::Meta::Class
2645 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2646 comes up during global destruction
2648 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2652 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2655 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2656 - changed how we do type checks so that
2657 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2660 - moved accessor generation methods to
2661 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2662 conform to the API changes from
2665 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2666 - changed how constraints are compiled
2667 so that we do less recursion and more
2668 iteration. This makes the type check
2670 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2673 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2674 - created this from methods formerly found in
2675 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2677 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2678 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2680 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2681 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2683 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2684 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2686 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2688 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2689 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2690 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2691 - added tests for this
2692 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2693 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2694 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2695 - removed tests for this
2697 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2699 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2700 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2701 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2704 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2705 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2706 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2708 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2709 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2710 comments for more info.
2713 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2714 asked questions and common problems
2716 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2717 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2718 - added tests for this
2720 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2721 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2722 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2723 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2725 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2726 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2729 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2730 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2731 is much appreciated :)
2732 - added tests for this
2734 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2735 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2736 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2739 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2740 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2742 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2744 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2745 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2749 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2750 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2751 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2753 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2755 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2758 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2759 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2760 keywords because we need to localize them.
2761 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2763 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2764 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2765 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2768 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2771 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2772 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2773 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2776 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2777 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2778 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2780 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2782 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2783 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2784 bottom of your class file.
2787 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2790 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2792 - improved error message when loading modules so
2793 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2794 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2795 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2798 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2799 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2800 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)

2803 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2805 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2806 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2807 turn them on for you.
2808 - added tests for this
2809 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2810 in Moose::Meta::Class
2813 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
2814 automatically turned on for you.

2818 - now handles an edge case for override errors
2819 - added tests for this

2836 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
2837 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2838 - This release works in combination with
2839 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2840 release because it uses the a new
2841 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2842 complete Role implementation. It has
2843 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2844 the the previous CPAN version. This
2845 release also lacks good updated docs,
2846 the official release will have updated docs.
2849 - refactored the keyword exports
2850 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2851 accepts more than one Role at a time
2852 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
2853 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
2856 - refactored the keyword exports
2857 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2858 accepts more than one Role at a time
2860 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2861 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
2862 string enumerations which can be used as
2864 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2867 - more careful checking of params to new()
2870 - much work done on the role composition
2871 - many new tests for conflict detection
2872 and composition edge cases
2873 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2874 looking at the tests
2876 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2877 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2878 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
2880 * Moose::Meta::Class

2883 - some small additions to support Roles
2885 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2886 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
2888 - some small changes to support the new
2890 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
2891 with the 'handles' option
2892 - added several tests for this
2893 - no docs for this yet
2895 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
2897 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2898 thanks to chansen for this commit
2899 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2900 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2901 on a per-attribute basis
2902 - added tests for this
2903 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
2904 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
2905 experimental feature and probably not finished
